ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is a method and structure which connects a thin film transistor active region to a semiconductor region of a different conductivity type and which shunts the parasitic diode formed between the two regions. A transistor gate is formed on a semiconductor substrate. A thin film of polysilicon is provided over the transistor gate to form thin film active regions and a thin film channel region. The thin film active regions are doped with an impurity of a first conductivity type. A semiconductor region of a second conductivity type is also formed over the semiconductor substrate, with the thin polysilicon film forming a connecting region which overlies and contacts the semiconductor region. The connecting region is doped to a second conductivity type to create a parasitic diode in the thin polysilicon film rather than between the connecting region and the thin polysilicon film. A silicide shunt is formed between one active region of the thin film transistor and the connecting region of the thin film. The silicide shunt eliminates the voltage drop associated with the parasitic diode and also reduces resistance throughout the active regions.
